Hi there! Learned to ride two years ago on a Suzuki Savage and just upgraded to a 2017 Tiger 800 XR. Im super excited about my new baby! Only hangup so far is how tall she is, I'm 5'3" and am learning to get used to being on a taller bike while adjusting the bike ergonomics to fit me a little better (added risers and suspension adjustment so far). I live in Portland, OR, USA and there are so many beautiful roads around me, me and my Tiger are going EVERYWHERE this summer! Hoping to learn what I can from other people's experiences on this forum. Cheers!
Welcome from another new member. I spent a week in Welches and Mt. Hood and fell in love with the area. I'm still trying to find a reason to get back there. You will find plenty of good tips on this forum.
Hello HealthKit and welcome to the forum from another Tiger rider. If your struggling with the XR don’t try the taller XC Take your time and enjoy
